MOUNTING MECHANISM FOR FLANGED ELECTRICAL MODULES AND THE LIKE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An arrangement is disclosed for affixing the longi- tudinal end portions of the mounting flange of rectangular electrical connectors or the like to the outer surface of a support panel adjacent opposite edges of an aperture in the panel. A spring metal clip is provided having a U-shaped clasping portion for engaging the front and rear surfaces of the support panel adjacent an edge of the aperture. Spring fingers integral with the clip lie adjacent opposite side edges of the clip and are spaced apart such as to springingly engage inwardly directed recesses in the longitudinal side surfaces of the mounting flange when the flange is positioned between the fingers. There is also provided a manually operated releasable clamp member integral with that extremity of the clip most remote from the edge of the aperture when the clasping portion of the clip engages the panel. The clamp member springingly engages and releasably clamps a portion of the outer surface of the mounting flange when the flange is fully engaged by the spring fingers. The mounting flange and clip are thereby substantially restrained from moving relative to one another in all directions and also relative to the panel.
